A twin is one of two offspring produced in the same pregnancy. Twins can either be monozygotic ("identical"), meaning that they develop from one zygote that splits and forms two embryos, or dizygotic ("fraternal") because they develop from two separate eggs that are fertilized by two separate sperm.
In contrast, a fetus which develops alone in the womb is called a singleton, and the general term for one offspring of a multiple birth is multiple.
The twin birth rate in the United States rose 76 percent from 1980 through 2009, from 18.9 to 33.3 per 1,000 births. The Yoruba have the highest rate of twinning in the world, at 45-50 twin sets (or 90-100 twins) per 1,000 live births, possibly because of high consumption of a specific type of yam containing a natural phytoestrogen which may stimulate the ovaries to release an egg from each side.
The world's highest rates of twinning are found across Central Africa, where there are 18-30 twin sets (or 37-62 twins) per 1,000 live births. In Latin-America and South Asia and South-East Asia the lowest rates are found; only 6-9 twin sets per 1,000 live births. North America and Europe have intermediate rates of 9–16 twin sets per 1,000 live births.
This is a list of notable twins, siblings resultant from a multiple birth.
Larry and Laurent Bourgeois, popularly known as "Les Twins" or Larry " Ca Blaze " Bourgeois and Laurent " Lil Beast " Bourgeois, are a hip hop dance duo originating from Sarcelles, France. The twin brothers who are of Guadeloupean descent (Guadeloupe, F.W.I.), are known worldwide for their talents in New Style dancing. Although they can be seen dancing as a duet, they are also a part of a larger crew known as Criminalz Crew, a group with a variety of dancers that range from b-boys to other new style dancers such as themselves. Les Twins have appeared on the television show Incroyable Talent as well as the Ellen DeGeneres Show. Les Twins have competed in multiple dance competitions such as: World Of Dance, Battle Of The Stylez, Urban Dance Showcase and won the Juste Debout Dance Competition in the Hip-Hop New Style category in 2011. [original research?] They come from a very large family with 18 siblings, and only 9 of whom dance.
Les Twins have performed with Beyoncé Knowles. They have also appeared in Jay-Z's That's Rocawear viral video and the music video for "La Gloria" by French-Argentine band Gotan Project. They were also traveling with Cirque du Soleil Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour as dancers with a newly formed crew especially for the tour, named Veteranz crew until sometime in 2012.
When I think of you
I ponder all the things ah that we could do
Like take-away some Chinese
And we'll make home brew
That's what we could do
When I think of us
I want o sell my car off
And I'll take the bus
And tell 100 strangers bout the two of us
And your brand new bust
It's just you and me
How I wish we were Siamese
Joined together at the hip
Walking down the sunset strip
It's just you and me
You and me
You and me
It's just you and me
Let's buy a little boat and head out to sea
The captain will marry us
We'll live so happily
Till we're lost at sea
It's just you and me
You and me you and me uh huh
just you and me
I find I’m humming the songs of Paul Simon
In my cap and raincoat
Are we just a pile of hearts
With the staggered starts and bones that wander
Over roads have been used
Now the highways are bruised and cars get tired
So I could be jobless and nameless
Well thank goodness for singing in the city
We could be twins
Everybody looks like my friends
I find I’m naming the trees as we’re passing
Like Richard, king of captains
All the things that we make
With the functions that fake us out with fiction
Until we are twins
And everyone looks like my friends
We could be twins
Everyone looks all pretend
We could be twins
Everyone looks like my friends
Yeah we could be twins
Everyone looks so pretend
Yeah we could be twins
Everyone looks like my friends
And we could be twins

DEATH. DEATH TO THE WEST!
This is a beautiful little song requested by Bob Arnold.
There's something inside me
It's, it's coming out, I feel like killing you
Let loose the anger, held back too long
My blood runs cold
Through my anatomy, dwells another being
Rooted in my cortex, a servant to it's bidding
Brutality now becomes my appetite
Violence is now a way of life
The sledge my tool to torture
As it pounds down on your forehead
Eyes bulging from their sockets
With every swing of my mallet
I smash your fucking head in, until brains seep in
Through the cracks, blood does leak
Distorted beauty, catastrophe
Steaming slop, splattered all over me
Lifeless body, slouching dead Lecherous abscess
Where you once had a head
Avoiding the prophecy of my new found lust
You will never live again, soon your life will end
I'll see you die at my feet, eternally I smash your face
Facial bones collapse as I crack your skull in half
Crushing, cranial, contents
Draining the snot, I rip out the eyes
Squeezing them in my hands nerves are incised
Peeling the flesh off the bottom of my weapon
Involuntarily pulpifying facial regions
Suffer, and then you die Torture, pulverized
At one with my sixth sense, I feel free
To kill as I please, no one can stop me
Created to kill, the carnage continues
Violently reshaping human facial tissue
Brutality becomes my appetite
Violence is now a way of life
The sledge my tool to torture
As it pounds down on your forehead
Moments of dismay
Grip my body tight
And hold me here
I want to escape
To break off these chains
Of doubt and fear
It's an emptiness
It's the feeling I get
Without you
I only exist
For the memory
That you were mine
A picture's engraved
Upon my minds eye
Of a forgotten time
It is distant now
It is meaningless
Without you
There is heaven in your smile
And a light is in your eyes
It's a secret you can't hide
There is heaven in your smile
Time passes by
And only confirms
Everything I feared
All of the things
That I once lived for
Have disappeared
It's a hollow world
It's a world without aim
Without you
You are lost to me now
And it's lonely here
Without you
There is heaven in your smile
And a light is in your eyes
It's a secret you can't hide
There is heaven in your smile....

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Now all you kids at home, on the next chorus
The Chipmunks will sing the words
And you sing the Fa la la's
Here we go
See the blazing Yule before us,
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Follow me in merry measure,
While I tell of Yuletide treasure.
Alright everybody, all together now
And here are the words
(Fast away the old year passes,)
Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
(Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,)
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
(Sing we joyous, all together,)
Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
(Heedless of the wind and weather,)
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
When you're dancing you're fantastic
all you're dressed in is elastic.
You make art with twirts and spins
can't wait till the show begins.
Anyone can see
You were made to dance for me
Won't take no - no for an answer
You're my - you're my ballet dancer.
Won't take no - no for an answer
Won't take no -

Since we met each other yesterday
My life's changed in a most remarkable way
I arrived there late but still you waited
Since that time I've been infatuated
I'll never have to worry again about falling in love
She is the woman that I've been dreaming of
The way you look, the way I feel
These are the facts of love
The beating heart I can't conceal
These are the facts of love
Since you left me last night at the station
I've been in a state of fascination
I only need to look into your eyes
And hear you say there'll be no more goodbyes
I'll never have to worry again about falling in love
She is the woman that I've been dreaming of
The way you look, the way I feel
These are the facts of love
The beating heart I can't conceal
I thought that you should go
What were you worth to me
I thought I'd find another girl
As soon as I was free
But then I saw you and I nearly died
Standing in the arms of mister nice
So finally he'd got you - it all became so clear
Your lips were nearly touching - it was more than I could bear
I need you
I need you and I need to know you're mine
I need you
I need you like the lyric needs a line
I knew that you loved me
I didn't feel the same
While you were being true to me
I was playing games
But then I saw you and nearly died
Standing in the arms of mister nice
So finally he'd got you - it all became so clear
Your lips were nearly touching - it was more than I could bear
I need you
I need you and I need to know you're mine
I need you
I'm gonna ask you for your love
I cannot wait for the break of day
The sun will shine above
And you will be so far away
Though moments come and go
I can see - This is the last with you
This is the chance of a lifetime tonight
Not gonna wait till you're out of sight
This is dawn of a new day tonight
Now that the time is right
So in the silence of the night
We must face up to our destiny
The stars are shinnig bright
And you are here in the dark with me
Though moments come and go
I can see - This is the last with you
This is the chance of a lifetime tonight
Not gonna wait till you're out of sight
This is dawn of a new day tonight
Now that the time is right
This is the chance of a lifetime tonight
Not gonna wait till the sky is bright
This is the start of an era tonight
Now that the time is right
Though moments come and go
I can see - This is the last with you
This is the chance of a lifetime tonight
Not gonna wait till you're out of sight
This is dawn of a new day tonight
Now that the time is right
This is the chance of a lifetime tonight
Not gonna wait till the sky is bright
This is the start of an era tonight
Now that the time is right
Tonight - The chance of a lifetime tonight
Is this what you call life
Asking for trouble and longing for strife
You're chasing me
The rumour's rife
Your intention's all too clear
Calling me up and calling me dear
And filling me
With dread and fear
I can't deny it's true that love is blind
If you can't see that it's all in the mind
Just leave me be I'm not the loving kind
It's plain to see I'm not the loving kind
You know you won't succeed
In winning cocks with chicken feed
The sings are there
For you to read
Your efforts are effete
The stakes too high for easy meat
Why don't you just
Admit defeat
I can't deny it's true that love is blind
If you can't see that it's all in the mind
Just leave me be I'm not the loving kind
I thought it would be easy to forget you
For after all it's been such a long time
And yet the memories of you
Still hurt me
They've been inscribed with needles in my mind
I'm sure I could convince you
If only you would
let us meet again
Face to face - Heart to heart
Face to face - Heart to heart
Think back to when we were together
How long we thought
Our mutual love would last
How hard it was for us to leave each other
Is all of that now buried in the past?
I'm sure I could convince you
If only you would
let us meet again
Face to face - Heart to heart
And so it's over - this time it's for real
Because I know - it's our destiny
And now I feel what a man alone must feel
Give her back to me
I had a dream - asked you to stay
You shook your head - and turned away
You broke my dream - when you came today
You said goodbye - and turned away
The judgement's final - no right of appeal
You leave the court - I'm the detainee
And I now feel what a man alone must feel
Give her back to me
In my broken dream
In a sweat-soaked bed
In my broken dream
I am left for dead
The play's been played - they drop the curtain
I ask the question - to be or not to be
I jeard her speech - and now I'm left here hurting
Give her back to me
I had a dream - asked you to stay
You shook your head - and turned away
You broke my dream - when you came today
You said goodbye - and turned away
In my broken dream
In a sweat-soaked bed
In my broken dream
Dime porque
Tell me why
Que ha pensando
You need to tell me what you're thinking
I can see it in your eyes
Every tear, every cry
Something's telling me
That maybe it's not the same
Oh, you can tell me, it's all right
Everything will be fine
But if my heart doesn't know it
If you can't show it
You're giving me the notion
That we're going
Through the motions of love
If you're going through the motions
Listen to me, if you really love me
You've got to do more than try
If you're going through the motions
If you really love me
You've got to do much more than try
Kick it to 'em, frost
Give you something going home
Let's try to be strong
There isn't anything
That we can't get by
Oh, I'm not playing games
Baby, I'll take the blame
Cause if it's me you're decieving
This heart's not believing and
You're only giving me the notion
Do you understand what I'm saying
Just chill
Please don't tell me I don't love you, lady
Please don't tell me I don't care
All I know, all I know is
That I need you, baby
Loving you, wanting you
I need you always to be there
Break it down, break it down
This is the situation
I cannot read your mind
If there's a problem, come to me
I know we can work it out
If you're going through the motions of love
If you're going through the motions
Listen to me, if you really love me
You've got to do more than try, try, try
If you're going through the motions
Going through the motions, girl
If you're going through the motions
Love, love, love, love, love, love
If you're going through the motions
If you really love me
You've got to do more than try
If you're going through the motions
Everybody, everybody
If you're going through the motions of love
If you're going through the motions
Through the motions, if you really love me
You've got to do more than try
If you're going through the motions
If you know what I'm talking 'bout, baby
Sing it
Oh, oh, oh
Don't keep going through the motions
Tell me again
Through the motions
If you really love me
You've got to do more than
Got to do, got to do more than
Got to do, got to do more than
Surrounded by breath a voice discovers the way
Serious words, the meaning without anger
It talks about things I never wanted to hear
Escaping is the end, truth has never been
I'm staying alive with my sensitive mind
I'm staying alive, if there's someone to talk to beside me
Hundreds of eyes in an ocean of tears
My hand reaching and trying to feel
The darkness disappears, I'm blinded by the light
It's all so easy, if I feel I can talk to you
I'm staying alive with my sensitive mind
I'm sitting here in this desert place
And there's no sign of life on face
There's no way back to my home
I have to stay here - here on my own
They really left me here to stay
And now my world is so far away
There's no place for a man like you - They told me
And so you stay in this desert place
I'm sitting here in this desert place
And there's no sign of life on face
There's no way back to my home
I have to stay here - here on my own
We talk a lot together
And think we'll talk so forever
Our differences are put under sedation
We share a light by which we see
Within our world of secrecy
Joined in an internal exploration
We are happy this way
Let our thoughts carry us away
I feel a little more alive
You and me we're drifting with the tide
I feel a little more alive
You and me we're drifting side by side
Of love we never spoke a word
Somehow it seemed just to absurd
To interfere with our imagination
We share a light by which we see
Within our world of lunacy
Joined in an internal exploration
We are happy this way
Let our thoughts carry us away
I feel a little more alive
You and me we're drifting with the tide
I feel a little more alive
Time was - when time stood still for our rendezvous
My heartbeat - hit danger-zone when I thought of you
What we had - felt like an eternity
And nothing could go wrong - or steal our ecstasy
When you're sleeping next to me
I'm waiting for the day
I lie awake and dream of you
A thousand miles away
So time will tell - and time's never wrong
So time will tell - but time takes so long
Our time is up - or that's the way that it seems to be
Your heartbeat - is beating now for your liberty
What we had - felt like an eternity
No matter what we do - no matter who takes the blame
I lie awake and dream of you
A thousand miles away
So time will tell - and time's never wrong
If there's trouble in paradise
You don't belive that it will hurt you
The lines in the book and the lines on your face
Are fragments in a cosmic puzzle
Everything is covered by a veil of secrecy
But there's always someone who believes in destiny
My secret's a secret and will always be
I haven't got the heart to tell you
I lie to your face while you're lieing with me
You never even guess the danger
Everything is covered by a veil of secrecy
But there's always someone who believes in destiny
You see me
You see me laugh
The puppets dance
And no one knows
About the game of chance
[Repeat]
How do you feel when the night closes in
Are you frightened by the darkness
Where's the solution that lulls you to sleep
If the deep of night is endless
Everything is covered by a veil of secrecy
But there's always someone who believes in destiny
You see me
You see me laugh
The puppets dance
And no one knows
About the game of chance
[Repeat]
Everything is covered by a veil of secrecy
But there's always someone who believes in destiny
This is joke that nobody knows
It's a gift to the present
It's made for the future
It's a precious joke
It's all I own
Monday - it's 8 o'clock
Time ticks - 'cos time can't stop
All's well - but one thing's changed
Nothing - will ever be the same
You said that you'd never leave
I think that you lied to me
We would be one through the years
Your words still ring in my ears
I'm yours and you are mine
Until the end of time
I watch - the minute hand
And try - to understand
And I - exert my will
But time - will not stand still
You said that you'd never leave
I think that you lied to me
We would be one through the years
Your words still ring in my ears
I'm yours and you are mine
Until the end of lime
I'm yours and you are mine
Piecing together my thoughts
The way it all began
Times are changing
And my thoughts are lost in space
Birds and dogs
Something very special
Had taken place in my life
I'm thinking about the two of us
And it turned me inside out
Birds and dogs
Now when hours seem longer
I'll be alone with endless sounds and noise
It won't break down, no chance to rest
And it sounds like a thousand birds and dogs
Seasons fading away
There will always be tomorrow
Restless shadows follow my rut
Exploring to my inside
Birds and dogs
I regard myself with deep suspicion
I feel my beating heart, feels no contrition
Guilt is a dirty word that no one likes to hear
But nothing can hope to tread, where even angels fear
I've a feeling deep within my heart
There's no feeling deep within my heart
It's an act in keeping with my part
There's no feeling deep within my heart
I believe I see whatever I believe
The greatest power of mind is the power to deceive
Love is a dirty word if you're not in love
Heaven is meaningless if there's nothing up above
I've a feeling deep within my heart
There's no feeling deep within my heart
It's an act in keeping with my part
There's no feeling deep within my heart
I know I said I need you
And that my heart was dying
I should have told you then
That I was lying
The raindrops rattle on the window pane
As if the rain will never end
This loneliness is driving you insane
You said your will would never bend
You said your will was ever constant
That men of principle keep cool
No thought of phoning for an instant
But now you're asking who's the fool
Just admit - you must have her back
It is true - admit - you're out on your luck
Without her - to love - you're lost in this world
Without her - admit - you must have her back
And so you still refuse to ring her
You tell yourself that she's a flirt
If she's a flirt you're a beginner
Who are you really trying to hurt
I see you standing all alone now
It must be hurting underneath
You say you want to stay at home now
I think you're lying through your teeth
Just admit - you must have her back
It is true - admit - you're out on your luck
Without her - to love - you're lost in this world
Without her - admit - you must have her back
Face the facts - you knew - you must have her back
It is true - admit - you're out on your luck
Without her - to love - you're lost in this world
when I see the soldiers come
burning down the houses
raping girls and children
it's the time to run away
when I see the fire grow
running through your fields
destroying crop and animals
it's the time to run away
when I see the water run
floating nearly everything
like a muddy avalanche
it's the time to run away
when I hear the earthquake roar
see the cities going down
human beings live in fear
it's the time to run away
leave your body
leave the earth
see the light
of the universe
leave your body
free your soul
feel the peace
One day's a day
When everything goes wrong
Not like today
Not like the rest and not so long
We should never say a word we can't defend
And if I'm right in my conclusion
We should stay to the end
We need something on which we can depend
And if I'm right about confusion
We should stay to the end
And I said, one day
Won't you ever wonder what you're living for
And before you move don't forget, one day
This heart won't beat no more
And one day
We'll be certain what we did this whole thing for
So before you move don't forget, one day
This heart won't beat no more
One day's enough
To squeeze the life from love
This is the stuff
Of which our nightmares are made up
We should never say a word we can't defend
And if I'm right in my conclusion
We should stay to the end
We need something on which we can depend
And if I'm right about confusion
We should stay to the end
And I said, one day
Won't you ever wonder what you're living for
And before you move don't forget, one day
This heart won't beat no more
And one day
We'll be certain what we did this whole thing for
So before you move don't forget, one day
This heart won't beat no more
I don't know you
Nor do I need to cause you're so near
Don't speak to you
But every word that you say I hear
Can't betray me
All of your secrets are known to me
Nor deceive me
I see things nobody else can see
I can see inside your home and your mind
But my motives are good you will find
Well I'm a private eye
I'm watching you all the day and the night
I'm a private eye
I simply can't let you out of my sight
I am with her
I am the shadow down by her feet
I'm the stranger
Who's rented the room just across the street
I can see inside her home and her mind
But my motives are good she will find
Well I'm a private eye
I'm watching her all the day and the night
I'm a private eye
You chased me with persistence
You always knew you'd win
Was only my insistence
That forced you to give in
Night and day - you followed me
You called me on the phone
I never thought - I'd missed your voice
Until you left me alone
And so I fell for you
And don't you say you told me so
Went through hell for you
And don't you say you told me so
And now I'm showing penitence
I'm living in the past
I laughed at your self-confidence
But now you're laughing last
Night and day - you followed me
you called me on the phone
I never thougt - I'd missed your voice
Until you left me alone
And so I fell for you
And don't you say you told me so
Went through hell for you
You stumble through life
Blind to what's around
Like the men of gold
With noses to the ground
Seeing - the other view
Believing - in something new
Knowing - just what to do
Rejoicing - when I'm with you
Fantasy
It's the one thing I feel
Fantasy
It's the one thing that's real
Don't forget that life
Isn't just a game
It's as grave as death
In everything but name
Seeing - the other view
Believing - in something new
Knowing - just what to do
Rejoicing - when I'm with you
Fantasy
It's the one thing I feel
Fantasy
It's the one thing that's real
All you need - is some fantasy
Fired by passion - for harmony
All we need - is some fantasy
We are the advocates
Of a better world
We cannot be bargained with
Only bought or sold
The technological era
Will gain ascendancy
We derive our power
From pure energy
The technological era
Will modernize our time
Progress for everyone
Who agrees to tow the line
We are men of destiny
Men of muscle and brain
And without men of destiny
This planet has no aim
We await the day of judgement
It's not so far away
As long as we survive the fall-out
She was barely sixteen and too young to be drinking wine
She belonged to a guy with a car the aggrasive kind
I got high on a rush when my eyes locked on hers
She would not look away and from there it got worse
She came up and said i know that pain doesn't hurt
I should have found the words
Refr:
Come on come on it's late and we're way off the track
Troubles wait for us now
If we kiss there'll be no turning back it's a fact
Troubles wait for us now
Cause we're playing with fire
I'm playing with fire
Playing with you
We went out in the night to the stars and the mystic moon
We were far from the crowd and a thought shall we get back soon?
But her face was so close and my mind was a mess
And the stars they said no but the moon whispered yes
She took my hand and said i know a place we can go
No one will ever know
Come on come on it's late...
Cause we're playing with fire
I'm playing with fire
Playing with you
Is playing with fire
And you got me burning now
Don't get me burning now
I guess you can't imagine
Just what it meant to me
When one look was sufficient
To transform seconds into eternity
Life is too short
To waste it in this way
To stare through one another
And to pretend everything will be okay
Feelings of longing, imagine a new desire
Feelings of longing, the one thing that I require
A wild romance with you
A meeting by chance with somebody new
A wild romance with you
A wild romance with somebody new
I think you know
That habit causes apathy
And how I hate this loneliness
That surrounds us when you are with me
Feelings of longing, imagine a new desire
Feelings of longing, the one thing that I require
A wild romance with you
A meeting by chance with somebody new
A wild romance with you
This cannot be the endeavor of a broken heart
Miss you forever and ever if you should fall apart
No one seemed to be gone
All things that you rely on
I miss you forever and ever if you should fall apart
Can't stay forever together in obstructed lie
No one seemed to be gone
All things that you rely on
You can never undo
Because you felt you had to
I miss you forever and ever if you should fall apart
Can't stay forever together in obstructed lie
Miss you forever and ever if you should fall apart
Can't stay forever together in obstructed lie
Miss you forever and ever if you should fall apart
Can't stay forever together in obstructed lie
No one seemed to be gone
All things that you rely on
You can never undo
you told me - about your fears
I tried so hard to comfort you
But you couldn't hold back your tears
You told me something about the plans
That you made - some years ago
And you found out that it's not so easy
To get what you want
One more day and you will find
What it takes to see the light
One more day and you will see
What it means and what life's all about
Hold on to your dreams
Don't you remember the things I told you
Hold on to your dreams
Don't you know how much it means to me
I guess you understand what I mean
And that you know - I never lie to you
And if someone won't believe in you
I'm sure you'll know what to say
One more day and you will find
What it takes to see the light
One more day and you will see
What it means and what life's all about
Hold on to your dreams
Don't you remember the things I told you
Hold on to your dreams
Every morning, every evening
You find fault and hit the ceiling
What have I done to deserve this
Is this really marital bliss
Assaulted and peppered with screams
This is a nightmare it seems
You want to go
You say you're leaving
Why don't you
All you want is to possess me
You're beginning to depress me
You give me more than I can take
All I dream of is escape
Assaulted and peppered with screams
This is a nightmare it seems
You want to go
You say you're leaving
[Redman:] "Jersey's in the House" [x4]
[Young Zee:] "You lose fucking with New Jerse"
[Verse:]
Straight out the ass, Zee got the nurse naked
The youngest in charge like Special Ed for record
Fuck the looks, who the one that cooks
And heat seek shit when I freak it like gooks
You heard me, don't fuck with New Jersey
Fuck around and cause a demolition derby
The Frank Niti I bomb New Jack City
And what's fucking with me and my chop 850
Raising suppose to represent my turf and
This New Jerse friend but work in on serpents
I stay low hump for blood
Similar to leech, and fill the whole beach with bleach
I think you whole cassettes been hacked
I be in cell block two banking with RBX
Most niggas sleep, come deep and get served
Fucking with my niggas from Jerse, New Jerse boy
[Chorus:]
Don't fuck with New Jersey [x8]
[Redman: scratch] "When I break it down from North NJ to Illtown"
[Verse:]
"Hey bloodclot lick one shot for me"
Castrophe, master the bastard Zee
I got a whole lot of mess compressed in my chest
Leave damsells in distress if they don't smoke sess (I smoke weed)
Labels tell me no, say I'm very slow
That's how I flow to get the Pillsberry Dough
Yeah and now I'm shitting corn on records
Roll up on checkers in the big boy Lexus
Word to Popeye, got fired, but fuck it
I use to nut buckets on their chicken Mcnuggets
And now I got a deal and a gun, now I can take the money never have to run
FIRE! Zee set the world on FIRE
Tongue Elvira, swallow her saliva
When I take a blunt to the head
I need a brew, beef patty and some coco bread
Yeah, motherfuckers heard George Clinton
It's nothing but the dog in me bitch, no kitten
Representing, this just one third
Of all my niggas who that rocking from Jerse
[Chorus:]
Don't fuck with New Jersey [x8]
[Redman: scratch] "When I break it down from North NJ to Illtown"
[Verse:]
And on tour that tough shit gots to walk
Cause I don't wanna talk when I come back with Newark
I'm signed so, I'm a wino on Vinyl
Pulling fine hoes even fuck the albinos
Zee the lone ranger, head honco
With blunts of fonto, and tato bitch in my Bronco
My shit's retarded by the way when I get Biz like the *MIZ+-A-R-K
I'm a fight a whole gang of whites
And get them for their loot and their Marlboro lights
And when my video slam on Ralph Mcdaniels
You'll get a sample of how I use crews for examples
I get props in advance
Lock up a land with my man and fuck up the twin Cam(ares)
From now on there's a gang of crews
That's gon lose, fucking with New Jerse
[Chorus:]
Don't fuck with New Jersey 8x
[Redman: scratch] "When I break it down from North NJ to Illtown"
You know that we both need
The chance to be alone and free
And yet still we both have to return
To the warm embrace of the other's arms
But this time I can't find my way to you
It used to be such on easy thing to do
I feel nothing but weariness
From fighting for our happiness
You look at me, I turn away
I just can't think of a word to say
How could I ever explain the plan
Of something I don't understand
I can feel a breeze behind me
The breath of a world that's spinning around
There's a storm that beats inside me
An earthquake that roars without making a sound
I am standing here, balanced between the woman and you
Can't make up my mind to choose between the woman and you
You know that we both need
The chance to be alone and free
And if I don't make it back this time
You know I'll never return again
I can feel a breeze behind me
The breath of a world that's spinning around
There's a storm that beats inside me
An earthquake that roars withoat making a sound
I am standing here, balanced between the woman and you
When I found you I was swept away by tidal waves of passion
Like a sailor drinking rum beyond the limits of his ration.
I'm all at sea and I'm lost like a vessel with no course
I can't see through the night and the winds are gale force.
The ship sails on and you are sleeping down below
Now you're in the hold
Ill never let you go -
I'll never let you go.
Love in the dark in the middle of the ocean
Love in the dark in the storm of our emotion.
I don't need to know the time of day or night
of our direction
Only one thing justifies itself and that is our affection.
We don't look out for the signs
that the current ebbs and flows
And we live in a nest made for love and not for crows.
The ship sails on and you are sleeping down below
. . .
The ship sails on and you are sleeping down below
.. .
Love in the dark in the middle of the ocean
You were a friend or maybe a twin
I never really could decide
You came to my door, I was on the floor
I couldn't let you up inside
I didn't mean to let you down
And now I know everything that's good is gone
I couldn't explain when I said you're a pain
I never knew another way
All the times that we saw falling down every hall
The better parts have been erased
I didn't mean to let you down
And now I know everything that's good is gone
I tried to make it happen
I tried to do things right
I swallowed two and thought of you
But never saw your sight
I slept away the summer
I dreamt away the days
But the nightmares came when I woke up
And knew you were away
I didn't mean to let you down
